Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine X-linked red/green visual pigment gene arrays of a female proband with protan deficiency. METHODS: We examined a brother and both parents as well as the proband. Severity, severe or mild form, of color vision deficiency was estimated with either failure or passing of the Farnsworth Panel D-15 test. Diagnosis of either anomalous trichromacy or dichromacy was performed using a Nagel Type I...
